The best put-in spot is on the river road just to the north of the I-95 bridge.
 |
| This was the first time the "pink boat" has been out all season. There's plenty of parking and the put-in at the river's edge is sandy, not muddy. |
 |
| I think this is the one of many buildings of Mystic Seaport Museum. I think. We paddled right up alongside the flagship of the museum, Charles W. Morgan. |
 |
| We paddle through downtown Mystic, under the Rt. 1 bridge and past the marinas. We need a break so we find a building that has a commercial look to it, but just in case, we pull to the far end of the private beach, so as not to intrude. |
 |
| It turns out the "commercial" looking building was a private residence. But the owners were wonderful people. They offered us water and bathroom break and we chatted with them for a good 20 minutes. |
 |
| We head back up river. This cormorant is drying out on top of this pier piling. |
The weather stayed great all day and we covered 5.44 miles. Next up, we'll be looking for seafood dinner stop (where we won't have 60-90 minute wait for a table). Great fun!
